Sexual Addiction Recovery
If you feel trapped in unhealthy sexual conduct, or think you might have a sexual addiction, these emotions are all too real to you at this very moment. Maybe your eyes have been opened and you are beginning to see where these unhealthy behaviors are taking you. It could be that your addiction has brought you to a point of crisis and you need help now. You are not alone.
If you are not the addict, but have been affected by someone else’s addiction, you may have decided that you need help. No matter what role or vocation you have in life, it may affect you whether you are a man, woman, teen, spouse or child. If you are a family member of an addict, you can also be affected. Sex and porn addiction affects people and their loved ones in a deeply spiritual way as well. And if so, there is hope.
Reaching out for help is so difficult, but it is what will help bring the chaos you are feeling to a safe place of healing. We truly understand. We care. And we can help.
Helping both the addict and the spouse or family member heal from the pain and betrayal and begin to see one another through God’s eyes again will move them to discover abundant life.
There is hope, there is help, and there is healing.

Sex and Love Addiction in Men
Men living with sex addiction tend to act out in ways that damage themselves, their sexual partners and their loved ones. Whether addicted to affairs, prostitutes, casual hook-ups or solo masturbation with porn, men living with sex addiction tend to neglect life commitments or personal responsibilities in order to search for sex. Some use the intensity of sex, romance or porn in a misguided attempt to feel powerful or desired, or as a means of distraction, reward or escape.
At The Ranch, our experienced treatment team not only provides the tools needed to eliminate concerning sexual behaviors, but we also encourage clients to “dig deeper” to answer questions like: Why do I have this problem? How can I love someone so much and yet hurt them at the same time? Why do I keep repeating the same problem behaviors over and over again?
Characteristic concerns expressed by our male clients include:
- Using people for sex without regard to the consequences
- Thinking that sex or romance = love
- Living a double life of sexual lies and broken promises
- Persistent fear of being found out, contracting a disease or losing loved ones
- Using seduction, sex or money to attract and hold onto relationships
- Multiple extramarital affairs
- Compulsive masturbation with or without pornography
- Being sexually inappropriate with co-workers or clients
- Being sexual in high-risk locations and/or risky situations

Sexual addiction is a condition in which an individual cannot manage their sexual behavior. Persistent sexual thoughts affect their ability to work, maintain relationships, and fulfill their daily activities. The American Society of Addiction Medicine describes addiction as “a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory, and related circuitry.” A person with sexual addiction is obsessed with sex or has an abnormally intense sex drive. Their thoughts are dominated by sexual activity, to the point where this affects other activities and interactions. If these urges become uncontrollable, the person can have difficulty functioning in social situations. In some cases, a person with a healthy and enjoyable sex life may develop an obsession. They may find themselves stimulated by acts and fantasies that most people do not consider acceptable.
In some cases, the person may have a paraphilic disorder, such as pedophilia. This is a diagnosable disorder. A paraphilic disorder involves sexual arousal caused by stimuli that most people do not find acceptable, for example pedophilia. It involves distress and dysfunction.
Sexual addiction has not been fully established as a medical condition, although it can adversely affect families, relationships, and lives. One difficulty with identifying sexual addiction is that people have different levels of sex drive, or libido. One person may consider their partner a “sex addict” only because they have a higher sex drive.
Behaviors and characteristics:
Some attempts to define the characteristics of sexual addiction have been based on literature about chemical dependency. Sexual addiction may share the same rewards systems and circuits in the brain as substance addiction. However, people with sexual addiction may be addicted to different types of sexual behavior. This makes the condition harder to define. It also suggests that the disorder stems not from the individual acts, but rather an obsession with carrying them out. Sexual addiction also appears to involve making rules to feel in control of the condition, and then breaking them to make new rules.
Treatment:
Addiction can be difficult to treat, as a person with an addiction will often rationalize and justify their behaviors and thought patterns. People with a sex addiction may deny there is a problem. Excepting Christ into our heart and striving to be what GOD wants us to be allows us to focus on a new relationship with our creator. This redirects our hearts and allows our creator to heal the scares on our souls while changing how we look at each other. This promotes healthy relationships and understandings that in time allow us to control sexual desires.
